UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe procured specialist oil heating services for its social housing properties. The requirement covers servicing and maintenance of oil boilers, together with installation works and central-heating repair and maintenance. The work is associated with the council’s housing stock in the Folkestone and Hythe area of Kent. It is a services opportunity rather than a supply-only or construction contract, and is relevant to heating engineers and building-services firms able to work on oil-fired domestic heating systems in social housing. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based at the Civic Centre in Folkestone. The selected supplier, Headcorn Heating Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of heating work.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot requirement. The contract was signed on 13 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £90,000 excluding VAT, or £108,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Headcorn Heating Limited was selected for the full requirement. The published evaluation basis is not set out beyond the use of a limited competition. The arrangement covers oil boiler servicing, maintenance and installation works for social housing properties, with central-heating repair and maintenance classified under CPV 50720000. This is a completed award, not an invitation to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Folkestone and Hythe District Council for specialist oil-heating support across social housing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the practical capability to service and maintain oil boilers, diagnose and repair central-heating systems, and carry out installation works in occupied or managed residential properties. The requirement suits heating contractors that can provide a complete maintenance service rather than a narrow repair-only offer. Experience of delivering planned servicing and responsive maintenance for a public-sector housing provider would help demonstrate relevance, while the selected supplier’s SME status indicates that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist business. Firms should be able to cover the council’s housing area and manage the range of activities within one service.
